U.S. President Donald Trump has discussed North Korea with Chinese President Xi Jinping during telephone talks in which he offered his congratulations to Xi on being re-elected as leader at the China Communist Party Congress.
 
Trump tweeted on Wednesday that he congratulated Xi on his "extraordinary elevation," adding they also discussed two very important subjects -- North Korea and trade.
 
Trump reportedly congratulated Xi that the Communist Party Congress drew global attention and ended successfully, adding he paid close attention to major policies presented by Xi at the congress. 
 
Chinese state media reported that during the phone call Xi expressed a desire to work with Trump to "jointly blueprint future development of China-U.S. ties.”
 
The two leaders are due to hold talks during Trump's state visit to China next month.
